Have you been thinking about a new home but aren’t sure if now is the right time to buy?

The truth is that you have to look at the pluses and weigh them against potential minuses, then make an informed decision that ultimately leads to a lifetime of happiness for your family. As a builder, Democrat Homes wants to make everything right for you, to ensure success. This means searching for the right setting, creating the right community atmosphere, designing the right homes and features, and all at the right price. That’s a tall order, but the company believes it has done exactly that in Forest Heights Estates, a one-of-a-kind community of detached homes surrounded by breathtaking nature. Now is the time to see if Forest Heights is right for you.

First of all, there’s the private location in picture postcard Horseshoe Valley, just one hour north of Toronto. This offers the kind of setting that is very difficult to find in today’s world of crowded, housing intensification. It’s definitely different here. The quiet cul-de-sacs and relaxed roadways are literally surrounded by nature, with mature trees and protected greenspace providing the perfect backdrop. The green theme continues with a verdant golf course and famed ski hills just a five-minute drive away, while hiking trails and a spacious park are within walking distance. Yes, schools and places of worship are close at hand, as are the conveniences of Barrie and Orillia – just a 20-minute drive in either direction. You’ll agree that this is the perfect place to raise a family… or to really enjoy your adult years in the most ideal setting of all. Forest Heights Estates offers the right location.

Exclusive community

Next let’s talk about community. There are only 80 homes here, on exclusive half-acre to more than one-acre ravine lots providing highland and valley views. The distance between the homes means you’re far enough to ensure privacy, but close enough to embrace the benefits of a true neighbourhood. Each estate lot is unique and expansive, offering you the opportunity to add a patio, playground, swimming pool or almost anything else your lifestyle demands. And that’s just in your backyard. Beyond that, every lot has trees, all kinds of beautiful trees. Activities here abound, both in summer and winter. Now this is your immediate community, but what about the larger community outside your cosy street? Whether you have an entire brood or are happy empty-nesters, rest assured that things-to-do, amenities, clubs and social events you require are also close at hand. Forest Heights is the right community for you and yours.

Now to the most important part of all – your new home. The design has to be right, to fit your lifestyle and your budget. Let’s start with a simple choice, bungalow or two-storey? Both layouts are proven winners with various square footage to live in and grow in. Now select two to four bedrooms, two- or three-car garages, walkout or standard lot, fantastic features and finishes. There are a dozen home designs to select from. You will also appreciate the endless choices you can make to personalize your abode. But remember, sticking with the standards is also and always right. Brick construction, half-acre lot, carefree vinyl windows, two- or three-car garage, modern kitchens, main floor laundry, 30-year shingles and the list goes on. Forest Heights Estates has the right designs for you.

Third and final phase

Most exciting, in the third and final phase, Democrat Homes is introducing two new models and a lower than low price point. Meet The Elegance, a perfect 1,150-sq.-ft., two-bedroom, two-garage bungalow with all the bells and whistles starting at an incredible $849,900. Imagine owning your piece of paradise, with a solidly built, technologically superior, aesthetically pleasing detached bungalow from a very affordable $849,900. And if you join in for the Phase 3 Grand Opening celebration, the company will give you a one-per-cent bonus off your lowest interest rate for a two-year period. A second new model is called The Essence, and it offers 1,320 sq. ft. of spacious living, also at a very reasonable price point. Here you’ll discover a modern open concept, main floor laundry, large windows and convenient single-floor layout. Forest Heights gives you everything want in a new luxury home at the right price point.

So, is this the right time to buy the new home you’ve dreamed of? If you wish to take advantage of a historic opportunity to own a forever home, in an exclusive community on a large estate lot, then this is truly the right time to buy a new home in Forest Heights Estates.
